numpy.ix_

numpy.ix_(*args)

Construct an open mesh from multiple sequences.

This function takes N 1-D sequences and returns N outputs with N dimensions each, such that the shape is 1 in all but one dimension and the dimension with the non-unit shape value cycles through all N dimensions.

Using ix_ one can quickly construct index arrays that will index the cross product. a[np.ix_([1,3],[2,5])] returns the array [[a[1,2] a[1,5]], [a[3,2] a[3,5]]].

Parameters

args1-D sequences

Each sequence should be of integer or boolean type. Boolean sequences will be interpreted as boolean masks for the corresponding dimension (equivalent to passing in np.nonzero(boolean_sequence)).

Returns

outtuple of ndarrays

N arrays with N dimensions each, with N the number of input sequences. Together these arrays form an open mesh.

Examples

>>> a = np.arange(10).reshape(2, 5)
>>> a
array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
       [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]])
>>> ixgrid = np.ix_([0, 1], [2, 4])
>>> ixgrid
(array([[0],
       [1]]), array([[2, 4]]))
>>> ixgrid[0].shape, ixgrid[1].shape
((2, 1), (1, 2))
>>> a[ixgrid]
array([[2, 4],
       [7, 9]])

>>> ixgrid = np.ix_([True, True], [2, 4])
>>> a[ixgrid]
array([[2, 4],
       [7, 9]])
>>> ixgrid = np.ix_([True, True], [False, False, True, False, True])
>>> a[ixgrid]
array([[2, 4],
       [7, 9]])
